“Sochi” In the new season, the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) plans not only to reach the playoffs, but also to go as far as possible there, said head coach Dmitry Kokorev.
Sochi, playing in the KHL Western Conference, finished last season last in the draw and did not play in the Gagarin Cup.
– We have good communication within the coaching staff and we are all focused on getting the team to the start in the best possible condition. I understand that it will not be easy, but I am not afraid of difficulties. I’m sure we’re all ready to fight together for the playoffs. Moreover, we don’t just want to reach the playoffs, but go as far as possible. This is a huge motivation for coaches and all players.
Last season is history. Yes, it turned out to be unsuccessful, but we need to move on. The new season for all teams begins with a clean slate. Everything is in our hands, we will only move forward, – the Sochi website quotes Kokorev.
Sochi in the first game of the regular season on September 2 will play away with Cherepovets Severstal.
